Do Southerners deserve their reputation? I think so. *sigh*

Woman charged with DUI on horseback

Published on: 10/10/06 CLAYTON — Well, that's a DUI of a different color.
Heather Darnell, 22, of Mountain City, Ga., faces a drunk driving charge after she steered the horse she was riding onto the highway and tangled with a car, authorities said. Darnell also was cited for entering a traffic lane.
She remains in intensive care after being airlifted to the Gwinnett Medical Center in Lawrenceville, Ga.
The horse apparently survived, officials said.
Three people who were in the Pontiac Bonneville that struck the horse Friday night were treated at Mountain Lakes Medical Center in Clayton, Ga., and released: Ancella Gragg, 32, of Lakemont, Ga., who was at the wheel; and a 13-year-old girl and 9-year-old boy.
Trooper Anthony Coleman said Gragg did not see the horse until too late and was unable to avoid hitting it.
"If it's on the public right-of-way, you're under the same jurisdiction as if you're in a car," Coleman said.
Yes we do deserve it
